I think that is why so many from the council etc are still in jail.

we've had a place in Daya Nueva for about 3 years and the Council Tax is billed by a company called SUMA offices in Almoradi.

We get the bill for about €155 in end of July and payable by the 4th October. There is also a charge for the Dustbin Collections which is €55 per year billed in Feb time again by SUMA.

We are usually there so pay in cash at the bank. If your late they charge you a few euro's.

Our Solicitor set this up for us and we just waited for the bills to come.

Even if your house is illigal the council taxes are for the council sevices provided I would think.So it wouldnt be wrong for them to take your money

I was thinking about the transfer taxes etc. paid on purchase or actos jurídicos on construction which are paid to the very authority that then declares them illegal.

I too know people who have an illegal property (bought in good faith I hasten to add) and all their taxes are fully paid-up, even though there is a court case pending to have it demolished.

This is Spain remember, no 'joined-up thinking'..

SUMA isn't a company, it's just the term for your council taxes and all other taxes like your vehicle tax. Not all people pay for the rubbish collections, where we lived that was included in our community charge.

We have a property in the campo and our council tax is taken by D.D every 2 months, the house isn't completed yet, but we assume that this is all we have to pay, should we be expecting the shock of another bill, wev'e been paying this for over 12 months now, but I agree with others that they may just not be telling us.

ah yes then I can see your point.I myself would call that fraud or legal theft.

I dont know about your area but our council tax bills come in once a year. 2 together.one for 298 euro odd cents and one for 42 euro odd cents.That for the whole year
